More quotes by William Shakespeare
One woman is fair, yet I am well another is wise, yet I am well another virtuous, yet I am well but till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace.
William Shakespeare
That is the way to lay the city flat, To bring the roof to the foundation, And bury all, which yet distinctly ranges, In heaps and piles of ruin.
William Shakespeare
Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!
William Shakespeare
Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth.
William Shakespeare
O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check, Richer than doing nothing for a robe, Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine Yet keeps his book uncrossed.
William Shakespeare
Winter, which, being full of care, makes summer's welcome thrice more wish'd, more rare.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.

But fish not with this melancholy bait For this fool gudgeon, this opinion.
William Shakespeare
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
William Shakespeare
Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.
William Shakespeare
Let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them.
William Shakespeare
What I have done is yours what I have to do is yours being part in all I have, devoted yours.
William Shakespeare
What valor were it, when a cur doth grin, for one to thrust his hand between his teeth, when he might spurn him with his foot away?
William Shakespeare
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou has no name to be known by, let us call thee devil....O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!
William Shakespeare
He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause.
William Shakespeare
Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.
William Shakespeare
